The value of regulatory agencies is simple...They represent all of us, not just one single entities values. We have seen that as a Nation there is no more important thing in domestic Ethics then to have regulation over business and our actions. Each of us is free and have rights, this is a given. Our rights stop when those freedoms and rights affect others. For Instance....Love canal affected all the people around it, and their lives directly...before it was addressed the businesses were free to dump toxic and poisonous waste straight into public waterways. Businesses NEED ethical laws rules and a watchdog because Capitalism ends with Monopolies, Ultra-wealthy, ultra-poor, and Oligarchies if not monitored and kept in check. We saw this with the robber barons a bit over 100 years ago. Unions, trust-breaking, and other things to stop them owning everything was a priority for republican Teddy Roosevelt. We Need Regulatory agencies, they are our eyes and ears...and fists for dealing with large powerful entities like the mega-corp that are popping up now again. They protect US, not the corps... it is too bad that people think in some cases that they are bad things. They CAN get to powerful and corrupt...but they work for us and they CAN be cut back IF this is found. They Work for US...corps work for their shareholders/owners. With that being said, I am pretty sure the SCOTUS will back their corp overlords and take as much power away from them ( meaning US really) as they can.

American Legislative Exchange Council. The regulatory agencies are supposedly meant to protect the common good. However, remember that many if not the majority of politicians are bought and even those that are not can be tricked, silenced, or left as a powerless minority. The agencies that are meant to protect us are often used as a tool of those that grease the right palms to either stifle the competition directly through carefully structured regulations written by corporate lawyers or by selective application/inspection. Remember the largest workplace raid in ICE history was retaliation for a large workers' rights lawsuit, and I remember a news story about a welding company that had safe conditions and paid market wages getting regularly raided while his competition which paid much less and had dangerous conditions was never inspected (likely because they greased the right palms). That being said we at least have a measure of influence in government through our votes and the absence of government regulation does not mean an absence of 'other' regulation made by the most powerful entities in the resulting power vacuum. Prior to the labor movement plantation workers reasoned that there was often little difference between the conditions of their slaves and of northern factory workers. Heck, there was no limit on immigration in large part due to the need to constantly replace the workforce with whole and healthy workers and the cost for much work was in bodies as much as it was materials.

Gutting WOTUS just opened up swamps and wetlands to become toxic chemical dumping grounds. Large polluters will make sure to locate near a wetland so they can dump their waste without penalty. Heck, we've even stopped penalties for massive oil spills under Trump. At least it was nice to see Kavanaugh step up, accurately predict the outcome, and vote against weakening WOTUS.

Because over and over again we have proved incapable of regulating ourselves. When shortcuts and saving money become the number one goals, there goes safety and health. Businesses of all sorts PROVED that they were incapable of creating safe working environments and did nothing but exploit workers for profit. They still do every chance they get. Airlines couldn't regulate themselves or the skies. Automobile makers couldn't build safe cars. I mean, what kind of future do conservatives want for us? Look at the few institutions that regulate themselves . . . like the Supreme Court or local police departments. There is where you see chronic abuses!

No, this is very a hyperbolic argument of what ending Chevron deference would do. It would NOT end regulation of industry or enforcement of laws. It would end the arbitrary creation by the administrative state of new regulations that are not given to them. Congress makes the laws and regulations and the executive branch enforces them. Go ahead shoot at me with “Oh! but they’re the experts not congress!!” Then have your experts write a report with a list of recommended regulations to congress and have them pass into laws. That’s already how it works, but Chevron deference allows them to use ambiguous parts of laws that aren’t clarified and effectively interpret (create) new laws.

Reagan was a second rate actor and a fourth rate president but his voice control made people feel kindly towards him. Republicans then and now are big on no government. But “small government or no government” is equivalent to chaos because 50 individual states cannot produce an efficient unitary @administration for an entire nation. This is the bottom,line idiocy that the Founders could not have foreseen because they only had 13 original colonies to oversee. This Supreme Court is now run by a group,of six who have no more a philosophy of governance than a fourth grader has about physics. They have already produced judgments that are costing many lives. Their hubris and that of the Republican Party knows no bounds. Republicans are unpatriotic and lovers of individuals with power.

I don't care how small or big government is, so long as what it's actually doing with that size actually benefits the over-all wellbeing of the people of the country. Republicans have shown they don't give half a whit about the wellbeing of anyone but their rich donors and their own pocketbooks. Progressives actually want the condition of life for the ordinary people to improve - the best method to make those desires happen is a matter of reasonable debate over policy, which we SHOULD be able to have in a democracy like this, but it's hard to have a conversation when one party actively doesn't care and the other is trying to occupy the 'center' in reaction. Vote Blue, but more than that, Vote Progressive. Vote for people who want to make the actual lives of actual people actually better.
